Yeah, exactly. So great to be able to say, oh, she’s about 15 minutes away, so I’ll start making dinner. Much easier and safer than texting while driving, too.

We originally set it up so she could make sure I wasn’t laying in a ditch somewhere from a cycling crash.

I had to google it…I think he’s referring to the Burning Man term for “Matter Out of Place”. So I think he’s agreeing with you that this link doesn’t belong in this community.

And yes, this is all deeply undemocratic.

Agreed, and it’s worth noting the Republican party has done the same thing to candidates who weren’t far enough to the right.

They settled with the family of that woman that disobeyed a direct lawfully given order from a cop, to the tune of millions of dollars.

So, yes, they absolutely will pay them. In fact, this is a “legal” way for the government to fund them.

Yep. I’m retired now, but before retirement a month or so ago, I was working on a project that relied on several hundred people back in 2020. “Why can’t AI do it?”

The people I worked with are continuing the research and putting it up against the human coders, but…there was definitely an element of “AI can do that, we won’t need people” next time. I sincerely hope management listens to reason. Our decisions would lead to potentially firing people, so I think we were able to push back on the “AI can make all of these decisions”…for now.

The AI people were all in, they were ready to build an interface that told the human what the AI would recommend for each item. Errrm, no, that’s not how an independent test works. We had to reel them back in.
